I get where he is going with this... but idk. Feels like a somewhat mid take. Strong abstractions always means strong vendor lock-in and more power to infrastructure providers. But AWS, Netlify and whoever runs your apps are not your friends. Vertically integrating your infrastructure can be a pretty good source of cost reduction and can create interesting assets if you have good talent in-house. So idk... sometimes the fact that building something takes time and you have to think about how you are going to set it up actually is a good thing, because you take the time to build it right and you end up understanding how everything works together.
This is amazing technology. You should sell it to AWS so they can offer an Enterprise-ready AWS EvenOrOdd API for everyone who does not know how to host the 40GB executable properly. With the power of the cloud this programme would be unstoppable
